Art & Craft Show...One week to go

There will be plenty of art, an abundance of craft and a congregation of community folk who you haven’t
seen for a while but will definitely enjoy catching up with.
The Opening Night of the Art & Craft Show is a great community event, it’s one week away on Friday 29thJune from 7:30pm.

To ease congestion at the front door and assist with catering it would be very helpful if you could purchase your tickets before hand from Eventbrite  or let Barbara (m: 0409 839 428) know. Of course you’ll be able to pay at the door on the night as well. 


The Opening Night $10 entry fee gives you the chance to leisurely peruse the art works on display with a free wine and canapés to assist in exploring the artistic merit. Many artists will also be present to discuss their work, which is all for sale. You'll also receive a ticket for the lucky door prize, a watercolour by the award winning local artist, Hugh Cross.

The Art & Craft show will be the last event to wrap up the Threatened Species project, it was also the first event in 2012 when the project was officially launched. A hall full of entries have been received and a dozen pieces entered for the $700 threatened species prize.
